Tonight was one of the best nights I've had in some time- the reason being- that I was treated to a spectacular thunder & lightning show. 5 years ago, almost to the date I remember sitting outside my home in the desert watching a similar storm, and realizing the power and beauty of mother nature. Tonight was a similarly humbling experience. There were only a few people out on my street watching, I couldn't beleive there weren't more... nothing on TV could be more amazing, or mezmerizing than watching the sky light up every few minutes only to be followed by an earth rattling shake! I wish there would be more storms like this.

Lucky! We don't have any of that up here in NorCal. In fact, today was the warmest day in the past two weeks. Go figure, huh?

I hate thunder storms, haha, we get a lot of them and I would never be caught watching from outside! Worst one I ever experienced was in Switzerland in the Alps. The thunder was not only loud, it echoed! I admit, they are an awesome force of nature, but I am scared of them just the same.
I tried not to channel that fear into my kids so when they were little and were afraid we would have thunder parties. We would get a blanket out and spread it on the living room floor and have snacks or dinner if it was around that time. We would read books and play games. The kids actually looked forward to them!
Didn't Fluffy and Rew run into a really bad one at Pikes Peak? I just remember reading something about that from a number of years ago. |

| Pikes Peak was prolly the worst thunder storm I've ever been in. Oh wait, Red R,ocks seeing the Dead and they were almost electrocuted. There was actually a waterfall running right behind Bobby. Here in Central Ca (at least in the Santa Cruz mountains) we had a really tiny thunder shower and the power has been out ever since. So I'm haulin' water since the well pump doesn't work when the power's out. We have the wimpiest lines up here I swear.Peace, Robin |
